~::SummarY::~The movie combines horror-movie tropes with The Red Shoes, All About Eve and every movie about show business that insists you don't have to be crazy to become a star but it doesn't hurt either. The movie is so damn out-there in every way that you can't help admiring Aronofsky for daring to be so very, very absurd. This is a thriller that zeros in on the relationship between a veteran ballet dancer and a rival.
